2012-08-20 - A snippet of the new song “Falling Away” by San Francisco-based doom rockers ORCHID is now available on YouTube at http://bit.ly/NX8rUA.
Vocalist Theo Mindell states:
“I had this dream of a kind of slightly medieval-sounding dark ballad sung by a man on his death bed who had sold his soul to the devil. Kind of a ‘Faust’ thing. This song was hard earned for us, but worth it. We tried to record it one time before and just couldn’t get it, but I think we really finally did. Definitely one of my faves on the EP.”
ORCHID’s Heretic EP will be available in North America on 10” vinyl in September. Track listing is:
01: Heretic
02: Falling Away
03: Saviours Of The Blind
04: He Who Walks Alone
Check out the lyric video for “Heretic” on YouTube at http://youtu.be/SJ6eZ4wGiJ0.
Songs from ORCHID’s 2009 Through The Devil’s Doorway EP & 2011 Capricorn album can be streamed on the band’s Facebook page. Click on the "Listen” and “Videos" tabs: http://www.facebook.com/ORCHIDSF
More info on ORCHID’s full-length debut for Nuclear Blast will be announced soon.
